Everlasting Gospel
First lesson: Matthew 24:14
"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come."
Second lesson: Mark 16:15 -16
"And he said unto them: 'Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned".
Golden text: 1st Corinthians 1:20 - 21
"Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe".
The Gospel of today (Sunday, March 1, 1992) must be spread all over the world both on radio, television and in the print media.
It is said that the children of God and the angels are those that shall judge the world. A handful of people in the world are watching, waiting and are still looking out to see when this would come to pass.
9.1 Judgement has begun
Already, we are in the Judgment. The great Judgment is going on. You have heard an eloquent testimony of that brother from Rivers State (of Nigeria) who went into a trance and he saw how the great Judgment of God was being delivered against those that do not follow the path of rectitude.
That is the reason you heard from the first lesson that "this gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached to all nations and then shall the end come"
Whatsoever means you can use to spread these teachings of God, do it. I have already given you this gospel before. The stage we are now is the mercy season of God, where Judgment is beginning in the House of God. You will also recall the testimony a certain brother gave about a strange dream he had. He had seen that people were being swept aside by an ill-wind.
When he inquired in that dream about the interpretation and significance of that dream, he was told that those swept aside by the wind are those who still indulge in the senseless habit of eating meat and fish.
I have warned you several times to refrain from committing these sins, such as telling lies, stealing and fornication. All these vices attract the judgment of God.
The kingdom we are is the highest court in the world. I am not talking about a prayer house. If you are a Christian, a Muslim or Hindu, etc, the moment you believe and are baptised in this kingdom, you shall be saved. If you are a pagan, a juju-priest, etc, once you refrain from all the diabolical ways of the world, are baptised into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and believe in this name Olumba Olumba Obu, you shall be saved.
9.2 Believe in the new name of God
God is impartial. I do not say partial, but I say impartial. God does not cheat any person irrespective of your tribe, creed or religious inclination. When once you believe in this name and are baptised, you shall be saved. You have to go out to all comers of the world and impart these teachings to those who have not heard about me before. It is not by building a hut and going there everyday to start barking, wailing in Jesus name or calling on this or that name. These would never save you.
Your duty does not stop at building cathedrals or bethels here and there. Rather, you are to go to all comers of the world and tell the world about these recondite teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ that whosoever shall believe and is baptised shall be saved.
Your work is not limited to when you erect a small building or bethel and perform healings and other forms of spiritual services. A great number of people have not heard about Brotherhood of the Cross and Start and my teachings. But a time comes when the world shall know and hear about Brotherhood. That is why many people doubt about Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, claiming that they were baptised before in their various churches in the world, and that how come again that they are asked to be baptised into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. That is the reason many of them cannot come into Brotherhood of the Cross and Star .
The moment you conceive this thought within you, you are gone. Others erroneously claim that since they have given alms to the poor and the needy that they are saved because they have done the injunctions of God. You are lost. If you do not believe in this wonderful name and be baptised there in, you shall perish.
You have heard a testimony of the former staunch member of Cherubim and Seraphim Church here the other day who had claimed he was all and all and one of the gurus in the movement. When the call of God reached him, God instructed him to go and be baptised alongside his entire family members otherwise he was going to be transferred to the great beyond with his entire family. When he hearkened to the directive of God, he was saved with his family from the imminent obliteration.
9.3 We are saved by grace
God does not save us because of our righteousness but out of grace and mercy. If you are a herbalist, necromancer or an occultist, the moment you come before God, prostrate and confess your sins, believe and be baptized and additionally denounce all the diabolical things you had indulged in before, you shall be saved.
I have warned you to stop stealing and to flee from committing fornication and crimes. I have equally told you that the only way out is to be baptised and receive the Holy Spirit and be saved. Once you do not have all the good virtues of God in you, you have no share in this kingdom.
You perform miracles by raising the dead, healing the sick, but refuse to accept baptism, who will help you when you pass away? Clear the bush and leave it for me I will set the fire.
Spread this gospel of the truth to the entire world; to the big personalities in the world whether they accept it or not, for I shall carry out the other aspect of it.
All the great and mighty works done here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star is through the acceptance of the teachings and the baptism of God. You are aware that for somebody to accept baptism is not an easy task. Some people have remained in their denominations for years and have not received baptism.
9.4 Baptism is the way
I have told you not to disturb them to be baptised and become saved any longer. Because if the Father were to reveal the significance of baptism to us, especially the day we were baptised, we should be celebrating feast on that particular day every year. This is because, it is the very day we were baptised that all our sins of the past generations were cleansed and we became changed unto the Holy Spirit. If somebody comes to you and asks you about the intricacies of Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, do not tell him, except he or she is baptised before you give him any attention.
You are now in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and you believe in somebody that gives you visions and extracts charms from your body. What about baptism? In the case of baptism money is not required. Baptism does not cost you anything provided you believe on this name.
Our Lord Jesus Christ told Nicodemus that unless he was born again that he would not enter the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus asked our Lord Jesus Christ, how could he be born again when he was old, a full grown man? The answer was that unless Nicodemus was baptised in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost he would not enter the Kingdom of God.
You are a member of AMORC. If you do not renounce it and accept baptism you shall not be saved. Whoever wants to escape the wrath of God and accept baptism and believes, shall be saved. I have told you time and time again that every Brotherhood child is standing on the rock, a very solid rock and that there is no problem for him. The undoing is that after confessing our sins, we return to commit the same sins we had confessed all over again.
Many people are serving various jail terms and in detention camps because of disobedience to God. They were given the power of the Holy Spirit but they refused to accept baptism and believe in God. The same is the problem with those patients in the hospital wards. If only the government would allow Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members to go to all these places, hospitals, prison yards, police cells, etc, to offer prayers to these inmates, you will see that sooner these people would be reformed, discharged and acquitted.
When you meet anybody who is sick ask him or her to confess his or her sins and believe in this name and become baptised and all the sicknesses and tribulations would vanish. Baptism in essence means the renouncing of all mundane pleasures, vices, diabolical deities of the world and never to go back to commit the various sins enumerated again. Once we have complied with these, we shall be saved.
Read: Matthew 28:19 - 20: "Go ye therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always to the close of the age".
9.5 Go to the world and inform them
If you go outside and start erecting mansions, cathedrals here and there and buy musical instruments, all these things would not help you. The most important thing is to go into the world and inform those that have never heard about me and Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Tell them the teachings of this kingdom. All the problems and tribulations you hear from all nations are because of their refusal to surrender and recognise the presence of God on earth.
It is your duty to go there and tell them about these teachings. Do not tell somebody to come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Everybody is in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
The time is very very short. It is not enough to go on evangelical tours in and around the locality with only your group members yet the gospel of the truth is not heard. Go and spread them to the people, telling them to be baptised and have their problems solved and their supplications answered. Tell the world about the glory of God on earth.
Baptism has a deeper meaning and explanation than what you have turned it to be. Baptism in other words, means that when someone believes and is baptised, he shall be saved. I know you cannot go to the big personalities in the world and tell them to renounce their membership of the secret societies and follow God. It is only the Holy Spirit that would change them. If you are in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, and you still indulge yourselves in secret societies, know that you have no place in this kingdom.
You have heard the testimony of one of my sons this morning (Sunday, March 1, 1992). He is a member of a State House of Assembly. He does not have any protection for himself, expectedly as somebody in the corridors of power would want to do. He has surrendered to our Lord Jesus Christ.
I have told you that Spain, China, Japan and several other countries of the world have not heard about Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and the teachings of God. But you are still moving around the country, claiming to do the Father's work when these gospels have not reached these other places. Go to these countries and tell them about this God and the kingdom. Not that some of these countries have not heard about this kingdom and the teachings of the Holy Spirit, but they need somebody to explain to them better and put them right.
9.6 Avoid traditions of men
Some of you do not know that pouring of libation is against the injunction of God. When a child is given birth to or when someone goes on transfer (dead) all the traditional rites would be performed to appease the earth goddess. All these superstitions are not in conformity with the doctrines of God and Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
In this kingdom, the moment somebody gives birth to a child or goes on a spiritual transfer (dead), all we need to do is to rejoice and celebrate love feast. The food of the spirit is love, mercy, patience, meekness and refraining from all manners of sins, while those of the flesh are tea, yam, rice, garri, and such other mundane things.
9.7 Why worldly governments fail
Why the world governments have fallen is because everybody thinks about how to have money and all the things of the world. Because of the things of the world, you have forsaken spiritual power and virtues. Things can never be the same again in the world unless man returns to God and His virtues.
During the era of our Lord Jesus Christ, He appointed some people to take charge of spiritual aspects, while others were assigned to other necessities of life. If you do not have the Holy Spirit, you cannot preach the gospel. Those who have the Holy Spirit in them are those assigned with the spiritual aspects of God in them.
It is only Brotherhood of the Cross and Star members, the world over, that are commissioned with the mandate to go to all comers of the earth and spread these good teachings of God. Those who would believe and be baptised will receive the salvation of God. It is not by fighting and quarreling and by killing one another. Go out and spread these teachings of God. Tell them to believe and be baptised and free themselves from the wrath of God. To go and preach to someone that may have the Holy Spirit but is not baptised, is like pouring water on the back of a duck or giving a blind man a mirror to look at himself.
Go to the world and preach the gospel of God. You are not told to go and tell someone to leave his or her church. Rather, preach the gospel. He that believes and is baptised shall be saved. For you to go and preach to some people to leave their churches, when in the true perspective, all their lives and means of livelihood are dependent on their churches, they will not believe you or take you serious. There is no church in the whole world that does the right way of baptism like Brotherhood of the Cross and Star.
There is no problem if somebody is a bishop. Notwithstanding wherever he may belong to, if he believes and accepts baptism he is saved, if not, leave him to be where he is. Do not tell people to come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, because many of them cannot preach the gospel of God. Why do you want him to come to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star when he cannot preach?
I have told you that many of the bishops have come here to Brotherhood of the Cross and Star and received baptism and gone back to their various denominations to perform their duties just for the purpose of keeping body and soul together.
What is going on in various churches is like the work of a civil servant, where at the end of every month, salary or wages are paid to them. If you are not born through the water and spirit, you cannot see visions, dream dreams, preach the gospel of God because you are not of the Holy Spirit.
Already, trouble has begun in their various churches and they are beginning to worry that their members are scattering. They no more have large multitudes. But unknown to them it is the fulfillment of the time that all shall come under one flock and one shepherd. This is exactly the stage we are now.
Pay your tithes and give alms to the poor. If you are confronted with any problem, knock your head on the ground call on the Father (1st Corinthians 3:13)
Those who refuse baptism, are those who are still begrudging people, stealing and indulging in secret societies, and committing various sins..
Each time you are asked by someone about this kingdom (Brotherhood of the Cross and Star) refer that person to what the scriptures say in (Mark 16:15:16). We are of the same stock, one Father, and we have to unite together. What you have to do is to go and tell the people of the world to believe and be baptised Those who believe and are baptised, shall be saved and those who do not believe will be condemned.
Baptism is like the gateway to heaven. What separates man from God is sin. Love is practised in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star. Only Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has the right to change and reunite the entire world. Because here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star money, wealth, jobs, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers are all here. But what is required is faith. Anyone, that believes and is baptised shall be saved. All of us are Christ's servants and Christ's students and ordained ones. If any of us is confronted with any problem, let us rally around him or her. Whither you are a male child, your duty is to go out and preach the gospel to the people of the world.
The Spirit is one, but has diversities of operations. Do not condemn people. But pay attention to the Holy Spirit. Who among you has the knowledge about what is read to us in the golden text?
That is why I have been shouting that you should proceed to India, Russia and such other places and preach the gospel of the Father to the inhabitants of these countries. In the Communist world, I have taken absolute control. Immediately Brotherhood of the Cross and Star gets to a particular place, it takes control and complete domination.
It has also in the same way pleased God to use the teachings of God to save those who do not believe. That is why our Lord Jesus Christ had told us to be careful about things of the world so that we might be saved
9.8 Look for spiritual things
Now you want to be a president, a governor, a member of the state assembly, so that you may have money. Does it mean that if someone is not a president, a governor or a member of parliament he or she cannot have money? That is why here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, whatsoever things are your needs, all are here. But "seek ye first the kingdom of God and its righteousness and all other things shall be added unto you”. During the era of colonial masters and when the country attained independence, has there been any big difference between now and then? But all those that work for God and believe in Him shall be rewarded and saved.
Although majority of you do not believe that you are saved right from when you were baptised into this kingdom (Brotherhood of the Cross and Star), you complain that you have no money, no food and no clothes, yet you are not hungry. God takes care of you, feeds and clothes you.
You have heard that one of the new civilian governors came here the other day for salvation. Why did he not go to big people who own churches, like Benson Idahosa of Church of God Mission in Benin City or other big churches to celebrate the feast?
He knows that it is in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star that he will receive his salvation, yet you are here complaining of lack of food and money. Here in Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, it is joy, joy all over.
I want you to know that the thing which is most paramount is to spread the teachings of God. Most of you are living witnesses to what the Holy Spirit is using one of my children to do. The General Manager of Observer Newspaper, through the spreading of the words of God has promoted God’s glory.
Journalists too, are important in this aspect. Their duties are to reveal things to the world and to propagate the new teachings of God. Like one of my sons in Lagos, Pastor Umoh James Umoh. Many of you have seen what the Father is using Pastor Umoh to do through the spreading of the teachings of God, right from when he was baptised into this fold.
But do not pray to become a journalist, because that may not be your gift. So many professionals are coming as farmers, traders, doctors, lawyers etc. Your duty is to do that which is assigned to you in your own profession tirelessly so as not to soil the good image of your Father, because we are now entering the reign of the Holy Spirit.
Whoever is a president, a governor or an honourable member of the state or national assembly, you should put them into fervent prayer because Brotherhood of the Cross and Star has come to reign.
It is said that a word is sufficient unto the wise. Those that have ears, let them hear. May God bless His holy word; Amen.
THANK YOU FATHER
